Poorly angled mouse

[M.C.757]

So it's feeding day, and since I currently have just a few small mice left over from the woman I bought my bp I've been feeding her multiples to use them up. Next week I plan on purchasing an appropriately sized rat for her meal. Anyhow, I know they can take prey around the width of their body or a little bigger, but she struck at this one mouse and tucked his head to his chest basically, then proceeded to swallow him like that. See the photo, it just looks painful since his little nose is pretty much poking straight out from her throat this won't cause any harm, will it?

In my small amount of experience owning a ball, I’ve learned that they won’t take food thats too big, or try to swallow something that they can’t actually swallow. If it takes it, it’s most likely totally fine. If it didn’t want to eat it, it wouldn’t take it or just reject it while trying to swallow. Hope this helps.
